A. Hello Mom, baby doesn't know anything. you should teach baby howmuch to keep in mouth. whole part of balck is not required. but at least 3/4 of it should go inside otherwise baby will take more air and feel ful just after taking less milk. so burping well and latching properly helps to avoid colic and gain weight.
